Notes
- Store German Beer Cheese Soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it will stay good for up to 3-4 days. Freezing is not recommended, as the dairy can separate and the texture may become grainy.

- You can reheat the soup over low heat on the stovetop, stirring gently and frequently to maintain its creamy texture. Avoid high heat or rapid boiling during reheating to prevent separation of the cheese and ensure the soup retains its smooth consistency.
